WE'LL BE MISSING YOU: NOTORIOUS BIG 14 YEARS LATER
Oh damn, today is the 14th anniversary of the shot heard around the world—AKA: Notorious BIG's death—and AOL has compiled a ridiculous round-up of celebs remembering Brooklyn's own Big Poppa.
Diddy offers a relatively incoherant statement:
"It goes off in New York City. Like tomorrow everywhere, all the stations especially here. It's gonna be going hard in the paint on Biggie and then at night it goes down. Even throughout the weekend so it's really great when you wake up on March 9 and you just hear all his records and how up to date they sound."
Method Man "doesn't like death" (weird, because I love death):
"Big was a close friend of mine; I had a lot of fun with him working on the album... I didn't watch [the biopic Notorious] because I don't like death at all."
Jadakiss ruminates on how Biggie would have made turning 40 cool:
"He would have made turning 40 or turning 39 feel flavor, made people feel happy about turning 39 or 40, the same way he made fat dudes feel like they're looking fly ... and made ugly dudes feel like they weren't ugly anymore. ... He would have bridged the gap with the young guys."
GREAT, GUYS. What a tribute.
Sky's the limit on BIG remembrance parties (see what I did there?), but we've heard of two that are definitely happening. One is at Jennifer McMillen's house (invite only) and the other will be hosted at Prime 6, where they will demonstrate to their uptight neighbors that "mo money" really DOES equal "mo problems."
All reports indicate that they have "the chronic by the tree." WORD.
